lol....well Happy December 1st to you too! I just recently discovered this thread and I want to say this mod looks soooo completely awesome I can hardly wait to add it to my mod collections!!!!
____________

I haven't actually played Era II, so I could be wrong about this, but the biggest difference between it and VCMI as I understand it is that mods in ERA II replace the existing towns, whereas with VCMI the town mods add to the existing ones. Thus in VCMI I currently have the option of 19 different towns to chose from. When I make a random map, even if I play an 8 player game, random towns can chose some of the towns I didn't make players. SO potentially I have access to more than just eight armies. Plus VCMI was easier for me to download and install, being a neophyte to the whole mods scene. Not that I have anything against anyone preferring ERA II.....to each their own!

Era is not harder to install than VCMI...

They both have pros and cons, VCMI has more towns but Era pushed and went beyond the limits of h3 single-player experience, also the map editor benefits Fred's patch adding thousands of objects and textures.

Personally I have Hota, Era and VCMI, and depending on my mood... ____________

NimoStar said:I liked more the old evil screen :v not because I think Romania is evil, but because it fitted with the original creatures and there are too many "light" towns in H3 as compared to dark ones (Inferno, Necropolis and Dungeon look Dark. Fortress half and half. And all other five look light.)

Also, I expected vampires when I clicked and was not disappointed, hope you don't take them out
Romanian Dracul vampires Vs. necro Nosferatu vampires!

At first i want to thank you for your effort. It's good to see that groups of people still develop this game. I see huge improvment in your skills. Latest models you have shared looked gorgeous.

I play this game for over 12 years and I have to admit I do not use ERA or VCMI almost at all. I see it might be interesting someday but for now it is buggy, AI sucks and luck of important things / to many weird ones.

In my opinion you should try to cooperate with HotA crew. Their mod is the most popular and guarantee good quality. With your skills I guess they would use some of your work. In that way much more people would be familiar to your accomplishments.
